A group photography exhibition titled "Andharer Alo" ended at Gallery Nitya Upahar, Aziz Co-operative Super Market yesterday. Fashion house Nitya Upahar arranged the exhibition, which highlighted works by four young photographers -- Kamrul Hasan Mithon, Md. Farhad Rahman, Mahamudul Hasan and Syed Fayez Hassan.
The photographers focused on diverse topics, highlighting contemporary issues in their works.
Kamrul Hasan Mithon, a freelance photographer, has done a series on river and riverine life. Mithon's photos capture moments on and around the Ichhamoti and Dhaleswari rivers.
A photograph titled "Parapar" depicts people crossing a small waterway on boat. Mithon's other photographs titled "Ichhamoti-1," "Ichhamoti-2" and "Dhaleswari" highlight the socio-cultural activities centring the rivers.
Md. Farhad Rahman, a student of leather technology, took photographs that address diverse contemporary issues. One of his photographs titled "Khelaghar" is a snap of the National Parliament building.
"Boka-Baksho" shows television in action. "Godhuli Belaye," another photograph by Rahman shows an aerial view of Dhaka city, probably taken during dusk.
Mahamudul Hasan, a graphic designer, has done some thematic works. One of Mahamudul's photos titled "Boyosher Dheu" shows an elderly man sitting by the water. Another photo on the theme 'age' by Mahamudul is "Boro Howa".
"Dhakar Megh," by the photographer, features a beautiful fleeting moment in Dhaka.
Syed Fayez Hassan has also chosen different themes for his works but has predominantly focused on nature. "Jhora" depicts a discarded flower floating on water. "Snigdhota" and "Rudra" are other photographs by Hassan, which highlight different aspects of nature.
Noted designer Chandra Shekhar Saha planned and directed the exhibition.
